    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Is there a way to calibrate and or check speedo accuracy :?:

I have searched and searched around my area for years to find a magnedo shop or whatever, and there is no resources available.

I have done the ride beside someone in a car thing, comparing what there speedo says and etc.. That doesn't work too well either. (Hard to communicate while riding)

Any Ideas guys? :roll:
Michael :D
 
Micheal you need to plan ahead just a little, ask the person in the car to increase there speed in 10mph increments and give you a thumbs up when they have levelled at the new speed , then when you have taken your reading you give them the thumbs up for the next increase.
Of cause you need to do this exercise against two different cars and average the results because car speedos can be just as inaccurate as yours. Unless you can get a cop to co-operate with you.

Ok thanks again Dink :D
I do have several friends that are in uniform here, Excellent Idea as usual Buddy :D
 
You can also go on the highway, and run a measured mile at 60. If you do it in 1 minute you right on, if you're off you can calculate the difference. Speedos will be off by a % so you can figure out how far off you are at different speeds.
